Default How to swap my d15z1 vtec-e head

Just bought a 94 honda civic vx and wanted to know if there is any way i can switch out the fuel economy head and change it to a more powerful vtec that maybe redlines a little high and gives me more torque/hp. thanks guys

the VX's pistons have a huge dish in them, and very small combustion chamber built into the head.
swapping on a different head would result in a low compression ratio even for turbo applications.

Save up a little more money and drop in a Z6 swap. They can be found for really cheap. And it's one of the easiest swaps you can do.
